Cascadia Code

Cascadia Code is a new monospaced font from Microsoft that provides a fresh experience for command-line applications and text editors. Cascadia Code was developed alongside Windows Terminal. This font is most recommended to be used with terminal applications and text editors such as Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.

Cascadia Code versions

There are multiple versions of Cascadia Code available that include ligatures and glyphs. All versions of Cascadia Code can be downloaded from the Cascadia Code GitHub releases page. Windows Terminal ships Cascadia Code and Cascadia Mono in its package and uses Cascadia Mono by default.

Font Name	Includes Ligatures	Includes Powerline Glyphs
Cascadia Code	Yes	No
Cascadia Mono	No	No
Cascadia Code PL	Yes	Yes
Cascadia Mono PL	No	Yes

Powerline and programming ligatures

Powerline is a common command-line plugin that allows you to display additional information in your prompt. It uses a few additional glyphs to display this information properly. To learn more about setting up Powerline in your command prompt, visit the Powerline in Windows Terminal page.

Programming ligatures are glyphs that are created by combining characters. They are most useful when writing code. The «Code» variants include ligatures, whereas the «Mono» variants exclude them.

Powerline и программистские лигатуры Powerline and programming ligatures

Powerline — это общий подключаемый модуль командной строки, позволяющий отображать в запросе дополнительные сведения. Powerline is a common command-line plugin that allows you to display additional information in your prompt. Для правильного вывода этих сведений используется несколько дополнительных глифов. It uses a few additional glyphs to display this information properly. Дополнительные сведения о настройке Powerline в командной строке см. на странице Powerline в Терминале Windows. To learn more about setting up Powerline in your command prompt, visit the Powerline in Windows Terminal page.

Программистские лигатуры — это глифы, созданные путем объединения символов. Programming ligatures are glyphs that are created by combining characters. Они наиболее полезны при написании кода. They are most useful when writing code. Варианты шрифтов с Code в названии включают лигатуры, а варианты шрифтов с Mono — нет. The «Code» variants include ligatures, whereas the «Mono» variants exclude them.
